What happened a year ago...

With no game played yesterday, let's have a look back at past match reports and see what happened this time one year ago...

U.S1v4 Marist Inter Anderson pk 2.30 14.06.08

I don't even know where to begin in describing yesterdays performance,in fact I'd rather just forget about it to be honest,wipe it from the memory banks.

U.S slumping to a 4-1 loss at the hands of a Marist side eager to avenge their loss the week before by the same margin.

One of those sort of games for U.S where you don't get the bounce of the ball or rub of the green.

For the first 20 Min's the game could've gone either way,we played some neat footy, they did to, then inter scored after about 25 Min's and the flood gates opened.
The first goal was from some pretty sloppy play from U.S and probably so were the rest of the goals with the team really having a torrid time of it.
the second a complete and utter cock up, somehow the defence and goal keeper managed to all end up at the wrong end of the 18 yard box and the inter player had an open goal and a huge smile making it 2-0 after 35Min's.
Then there was the 3rd goal scored right on half time, don't ask me, it was from a corner and there were bodies everywhere,next thing the ball is in the net 3-0 half time.

Nick quite rightly at half time pointed out we could still get back into the game, alas any hope of that was rubbed out right after the break as inter bullied their way through the defence and after attempting to chip Graham (filling in in goal for brooks),the ball was parried into the waiting feet of an inter player and the shot was deflected into the back of the goal to have U.S staring at a humiliating 4-0 loss.

The game seemed to meander on for the next 25mins until Inters mongol retard goal keeper decided to have one of his famous brain fades,ran out of the goal mouth and charged down Gus(who'd been in the thick of it all day) with a blindside,Tristin saw red and rightly so,showing great restraint in not knocking him the fuck out,the inter goal keeper was ordered from the field and as he left made the comments to the effect he'd been planning to do that for a while. like i said,mongol retard(who wanted to continue it after the game finished, even as we were all getting into our cars). A knob of the highest order.

We managed to grab a goal back after that from a corner but it was all too late,Ben Hodges hot run of form continuing, our blackest day this season ending.

Let's remember this game for the fact we don't want it happening again, we're better than that this season our defensive record going into this game as well as our goal scoring speaks for itself we are a good side let's make amends by exacting revenge on Wgtn utd Tce next week who we should blame for this loss any way they were the team that thumped Inter 4-1 the week before.

U.S (starting) Graham,Aaron,Nick G,Jason,Corey,Robin,Ben H,Paddy,Joe,Tristan,Gus

How could anyone get angry at him?

So cancellation saved me the inevitable angry at Tangi fine, but I'm working on it.

Anyho, I'm out of contact for week, so blog may go quiet with no reports/fines etc unless someone comes up with something to throw up.

Missing next weeks game too, so good luck. Redemption is just postponed for a week.

Today's game is cancelled...

Masters Divisions 1 and 4

Straight from the Pony's mouth

He was awarded the Chelsea equivalent of Stallion for his goal. It will go down in history as one of his best.

Fines #2

Okay, most people managed to pay some of their fines last week (or had already paid some). People who haven't paid anything yet:

Graeme
Tristin
Corey
Jason
Joe
Lloyd (who owes the princely sum of $1.50)

This is how much people owe:

Gus - $39.00
Paddy - $23.50
Nick W - $21.00
Aaron - $18.50
Graeme - $21.00
Tangi - $18.50
Ben B - $26.00
Tristin - $34.00
Hodges - $18.50
Spencer - -$3.00
Corey - $34.50
Jason - $41.00
Joe - $39.50
Panda - $16.50
Rauru - $3.50
Mike B- $18.50
Lloyd - $1.50
Jamie - -$2.50

The fines are adding up pretty quickly, so people should pay some now if they can (particularly if they haven't paid anything yet). We've got a fair bit of money already, so what do people think of doing something before the cup starts?

Fines #1

Although the fines flew thick and fast the fine session (with one exception) was fairly calm.

Stallion - Gus (nice goal, another nice shot and some general good work)
Pony - Rauru (missed goal, claiming missed goal didn't happen, claiming missed goal shouldn't count as a missed goal, yelling at team mates that they "Know nothing about football).

MVP

3 - Tangi
2 - Paddy
1 - Mike

Tristin - having a negative impact
Rauru - Multiple fines for missed goal/s
Abusing finemaster and team mates
Multiple fines for trying to run the fine session
Gus - lame celebration
Hodges - 'midfield was exceptional'
Having Tangi clear the ball into Ben's back
Aaron - another angry at Tangi fine
Tangi - inability to talk in a non-angry voice
Everyone hates Tangi

University 2 v 1 U.S Nairnville park 6th June 2009 2.30pm

What a beautiful day for football it was on Saturday and for the first 45 minutes we were on fire, had a pretty good set up and scored a deserved goal, Logan scoring a ripper walking through a few of the opposition before burying it in the back of the net after 25 or so minutes.
We dominated most of the half although the other university team did have their chances too the most notable was when they cleared a corner and ran the length of the field only for the shot to hit the crossbar and then Brooks made this huge save as the ball was about to go in on our left hand upright he got a hand to it and forced it for a corner, nice one.

Our strikers were dancing around some of the defenders they had some pretty nice touches, turned a few inside out, but the almost open goal (only the keeper to beat) was just to much to contend with, if we played Gaelic football I'm sure we'd have scored shit loads of points but alas the aim of this game is to get the ball between the posts not send it way up over it.

The defenders well I think we held our own alright in the first half, had a few anxious moments but still we let ourselves down in the second half,just I dunno, shit really (me especially).

Maybe it was the state of the pitch on the turn around because things went pear shaped for U.S in the second half the 50/50 types of things weren't going our way, we seemed to get bogged down which isn't hard given the state of Nairnville park but everything changed, all for the benefit of University. fair play though they did play well.

Their goals
They scored both theirs in the 2nd half, the first has to rate the bullshitiest penalty decision since we got the last bullshit penalty decision against us when we played the magpies the other week Joe clearly got the ball from the striker who went down quicker than you could blink in the 18 yard box and their ref was waiting with his whistle for anything to gift them a goal as he pointed to the penalty spot, what a load of shit.

their 2nd was better though
We got pulled apart at the back after three of U.S went for the same guy outside the 18 yard box quite close to the left hand goal line a deflected clearance or pass I can't remember found it's way to another university player who crossed the ball and the free striker watched Mike pirouette around like a ballerina then he calmly headed the ball into the net,which they really couldn't believe because there was silence for about 3 -4 seconds while they comprehended the fact they had taken the lead from U.S.

We then spent 25 minutes running around in true stallions fashion, we tried ever so hard to get an equaliser but I think the opposition wanted it more, they held on and all the 50/50 stuff went their way in the end we couldn't get out of jail the University side going on to win 2-1

Stallions : Ben B,Corey,Jason,Patrick,Mike,Joe,Ben H,Aaron,Spencer,Logan,Rauru
Subs :Tangi,Tristin
